The Schillerhaus in Weimar is the historic residence where Friedrich Schiller, one of the greatest German writers and playwrights, lived in the last years of his life. Located in the historic center, this bourgeois house from the 18th century is now a museum that showcases the daily life and work of the poet up close.
Schiller moved here with his family in 1802 and wrote some of his most famous works in these rooms, including parts of Wilhelm Tell. The house has been largely preserved in its original state, with original furniture, manuscripts, personal items, and the impressive study where one can still feel the creative atmosphere of that time.
The museum offers an exhibition that reconstructs the historical and cultural environment in which Schiller lived, highlighting his connection to Goethe and the Weimar Classicism. In addition to the permanent collection, the Schillerhaus hosts cultural events, temporary exhibitions, and readings on German literature.
A visit to the Schillerhaus is a moving experience for literature, history, and philosophy enthusiasts. Just a few steps away from the Goethe House and the National Theater, it is an essential stop to understand the intellectual heart of Weimar.
